Enzyme Information
| 4.4.1.1 |
Cystathionine gamma-lyase.
based on mapping to UniProt P31373
L-cystathionine + H(2)O = L-cysteine + NH(3) + 2-oxobutanoate.
-!- The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing L-cysteine and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form 2-oxobutanoate and ammonia. -!- The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalyzed by EC 3.5.99.10. -!- Also catalyzes the conversion of L-homoserine to 2-oxobutanoate and ammonia, of L-cystine to thiocysteine, pyruvate and ammonia, and of L-cysteine to pyruvate, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. -!- Formerly EC 4.2.1.15.
